Elizabeth Taylor // "You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and god damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way."

Brigitte Bardot // "I used to try and make myself as pretty as I could...It was really hard to go out, to show myself. I was afraid of not coming up to people's expectations. Today...I don't give a damn anymore. I don't want to charm. Anything or anybody."
Paul Gauguin // "I shut my eyes in order to see."
Michael Jackson // Madonna
